Abstract

The chapter discusses the evolution of environmental consciousness over the past six decades and the increasing importance of school geography in teaching about sustainability. It highlights the work of John Huckle, who advocated for a socialist approach to school geography that engages with capitalism and eco-socialist arguments. The author reflects on Huckle’s influence and the limitations of past approaches, emphasizing the need for a more radical, eco-socialist approach to geography education. The chapter also explores the current crisis of capitalism and its impact on education, arguing for a critical analysis of capitalism’s role in the environmental crisis. It concludes by emphasizing the urgency of developing an eco-socialist school geography to address the challenges of the warming condition and the Anthropocene.
